Taraji P. Henson as the host for the 2021 BET Awards later this month.
Whereas last year’s awards show was virtual, this year showcase will be live in front of a vaccinated audience. It’s going to be a ladies night, according to this year’s theme, celebrating the “Year of the Black Woman” for their “immense impact on the culture.”
“For more than 20 years, the BET Awards have been a celebration of Black creativity, art and excellence,” Henson says in a statement. “Returning live, this year’s show will be unlike anything we have ever seen before, and I am honored to be sharing the stage with so many powerful and prolific women in music and entertainment. The BET Awards will once again be at the forefront of Black culture.”
